How Vendor Payouts Work

Once you begin making sales on the LocalZ Marketplace, payouts for completed orders are sent directly to you based on the platform’s payment schedule and processing rules. This article explains how payouts are handled and what you need to do to ensure smooth transactions.

• Payouts are issued to vendors for completed orders only

• Funds are transferred to the payout method you specified during registration

• A 20% commission is automatically deducted from the sale before payout

• Minimum Withdraw Limit of $50

• Vendors can view payout records and earnings from their dashboard

Payouts are processed on a weekly basis (typically Monday). You will be paid for any orders that meet the following conditions:

• The order has been marked as Completed

• No refund or dispute is pending

• The order has passed the clearing period, typically 14 days after completion

This clearing period allows time for customer complaints, returns, or fraudulent transactions to be addressed.

• Order placed: April 1

• Order shipped and marked Completed: April 4

• Payout eligible: April 18 (14-day clearing period)

• Paid in next weekly payout cycle: April 12–18

During vendor registration, you must connect a valid payout method, such as:

• Stripe (via secure payment processor)

• PayPal or other approved services (if supported by LocalZ)

You can update your payout method at any time from your Vendor Dashboard under Payout Settings.

Ensure your payment details are accurate and up-to-date to avoid delays.

To track your earnings:

1. Log in to your LocalZ Vendor Dashboard

2. Go to Earnings or Reports

3. View total sales, commission deductions, and payout history

4. You can export data for accounting purposes if needed

LocalZ deducts a 20% commission fee from each order before issuing your payout. This fee helps cover platform operations, support, and promotion.

• The commission rate is published in the Vendor Terms & Conditions

• It is calculated as a percentage of the product’s final sale price (including built-in shipping)

• You will always see the net earnings after commission on your order details

• Incomplete or incorrect payout setup

• Order not marked as Completed

• Pending refund or customer dispute

• System maintenance or payment processor issues

If a payout is delayed, check your dashboard first. If needed, contact LocalZ Support.

• Always mark orders as Completed once shipped

• Keep payout details up to date

• Monitor your earnings regularly to catch errors early

• Maintain communication with customers to reduce refunds or disputes

Now that you understand payouts, you can continue with:

• Reviewing the Commission Structure and Costs

• Managing taxes and preparing for reporting

• Promoting your products to increase sales
